Chief of the Bureau OF Contagious Dis
eases, each represented that, with now
a dozen centres of infection on
hand and much cold weather yet i'll
store, more help was necessary
in Dr. Taylor's bureau to ward OIL
danger. The Board is short of funds,
and il was stated that before more could
be demanded declaration would have
to be made in effect that smallpox was
epidemic in New York. The Board
thought such a statement would cost
the city 81 900, 600 worth of trade, ana
it was resolved to increase the yacci-
mating force by using the 800 now on
hand from the sale of virus. Six al
ditional doctors were appointed al
